Marriage: The Trip Report - Update 2/28 - Final Thoughts & Link to Disneyland TR!

[tinacaplan]

Whoa...I have nine more days of school, so I'm already jumping out of my skin and then I see this update and I cannot sit still! SAB looks amazing! Your pictures of Henry are precious. And were it not for your pictures, the thought of tubing lazily down that river with Max in my lap might not have occurred to me. And Sunshine Seasons looks great...have to check out their menu and remember that its there and will be a great possibility for July.

I so wish that Max were tall enough for Soarin'...not there yet. Glad Henry is enjoying it, though.

After this ride I think I discovered my favorite Disney sound. The click of the seat belts coming off after this ride. It's funny-they do the announcement of how to get out of the seat belt while everyone is pushing, pushing, pushing on the red button and then suddenly BOOM! we are released and the clicking fills the room. It's the end sound of an awesome ride. I have no idea, but it just strikes me as a fun noise. I'm weird like that.

I'm so with you Brook! That always makes me smile!

I love your relaxing afternoon at SAB and then the fun start of your evening at Epcot. The yummy food and then Soarin'? Sounds pretty much perfect to me!

 

[manntra]

Perfect day!! Love the Patissiere....I prefer the ham and cheese (when they warm it for you) croissant. I have had the chocolate mousse too. Yeah they both work pretty well for me!
Fun, fun, fun at SAB....Henry (and the two of you) really enjoy the sand.

I am going to have to remember to listen to the seat belts on Soarin. I think I know what you mean but I will give a good listen next time

I love palm trees and palm pictures too. That and the Florida blue sky. Always taking pictures of both. Love the skinny palms at HS

What a great afternoon at SAB!

And I just have to say it SUNSHINE SEASONS HAS THE BEST DESERTS!

I would eat there every trip if I had my way.

 

[dilligaf212]

seeing SAB really makes me want to stay at the beach club next time we visit.. that dessert looks sooo good!! it is 6:30am and now all I can think about is strawberry shortcake i love your pictures and Henry is the cutest

 

[brookelizabeth]

Wonderful updates! I've never had a full lunch at the bakery, only desserts, but that ham sandwich looks really good! I have such a hard time passing up Tangerine cafe, but maybe someday I'll branch out and try something new!

It looks like you guys had a lovely afternoon at SAB! Am I the only one who thinks those tube rental prices are highway robbery? We stayed at the villas one vacation and I brought tubes (and I made sure to buy clear ones!) for the whole family. Well, they didn't last long because one of the lifeguards let us know in no uncertain terms that they were not allowed!

Glad you made it back to Epcot for the evening! I get antsy being at the pool for too long too. I know how this is going to go in the future "Sorry Everett, we have to leave, Mommy needs her ride fix"

Those sunshine season food pictures were bringing tears to my eyes! It all looks sooo yummy, why can't I just be there eating right now! I promise I'd share with you all!

Ooooh, I love the Tangerine Cafe too! Joe is NOT a fan, but perhaps I can convince him to get France while I get Morocco.

We were a bit surprised there was a cost for the tubes. I could more easily see a deposit instead, so people actually returned them and took care of them. I mean, how much do you pay for a room there? And then they charge for the tube on top of that??? It's not much money, but if you have a whole family - plus, it's just the principle. So, yes, I do agree! Lame that they won't let you bring your own either.

about the ride fix - exactly! I always go in with the mentality of "just relax" but it NEVER works.

I'll join you in our imaginations at Sunshine Seasons. I'm kinda craving the pork chop about now. (at 6:40 am! LOL)

Hey Brook! I am finally back on the computer and just read about 8 pages of updates from your TR
Your trip in August sounds like so much fun! TA and family time
I love the picture of you guys at Epcot. I have been editing my photopass pictures and I love that little Epcot border.
I cant wait to read more. I am still trying to get everything unpacked, washed and all the regular stuff done since we got back late Saturday evening.

I am SO excited about August! I was working on my plans last night. I will probably just squish them in here to run them past everyone and get input, instead of doing a whole PTR.

I love that Epcot border too!! It was nice to visit and have PhotoPass during one of the events so I had a few more options.

Take your time, I'm impressed that you are already here and catching up! I'm STILL not fully caught up since March!

Whoa...I have nine more days of school, so I'm already jumping out of my skin and then I see this update and I cannot sit still! SAB looks amazing! Your pictures of Henry are precious.

9 days!!! I bet all the teachers and kids are bursting at the seams!

Sunshine Seasons is awesome because there is so much variety in one place. Plus those desserts....

I'm behind on your (and everyone's) TRs...you were staying at AKL, right? I don't think I realized/remembered you had changed it! That is awesome! SAB is just amazing...it's HUGE! Max will love it, I'm sure!!! (and so will you guys!) I love those Epcot area resorts too, it's complete joy just wheeling to Epcot and DHS and not having to deal with the buses for those parks!

Love the updates! Your Epcot day is sounding so perfect right about now! I just love that family photopass pic in Epcot!

Thank you!!! I could go for a little Epcot about now myself.

I'm so with you Brook! That always makes me smile!

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

I love your relaxing afternoon at SAB and then the fun start of your evening at Epcot. The yummy food and then Soarin'? Sounds pretty much perfect to me!

It sounds about perfect to me right now too!! It was a perfect weather day for SAB...ahhhh, to be there right now...!

Someday I'm going to count how many pictures of palm trees I have...I am always taking a zillion pictures of them each trip! I can't help it! I love the skinny tall ones at DHS too, they really help set the mood at DHS too.

What a great afternoon at SAB!

And I just have to say it SUNSHINE SEASONS HAS THE BEST DESERTS!

I would eat there every trip if I had my way.

Yes it does! Such a great variety and they all look SO yummy. I've never tried anything but the strawberry shortcake though.

 

[Charleston Princess]

I love your "lazy" afternoon at SAB and your dinner at Sunshine Seasons! I dream of that strawberry shortcake!

You know, I have never really paid attention to the clicking of the seatbelts after Soarin'. Now, I will have to do so!

SAB is awesome! We hope to stay there on a future-trip too...not August unfortunately though!

I totally understand the want for strawberry shortcake this morning, I could have had a piece myself!

Me too! It's sooooo stinkin' good. I didn't get a piece this last trip, but perhaps in August!

The click sound just strikes me as funny, and it's pretty much only Soarin' where you hear it like that all at once!

 

[lizzyshakuntala]

I've been having a totally crappy last couple of days but then reading your TR made me happy! Seriously! Thank you for that...

Of course it helps that Henry is soooo adorable and how you guys are just taking it easy but still having a blast there

 

[Aurynn]

Read through the entire TR so far today and it's lovely. It does help that Henry is ridiculously adorable. Him flirting with the Small World CM... I can just picture it Hehe

 

[PirateKate]

Henry's Duffy on a Stick turned out great! He looks very proud of his artwork.

I like the ham and cheese croissant from the Patisserie, but I've never had the baguette before. It looks like it would be good.

I hope Henry enjoys Test Track this time!

Thank you! He is SUCH a flirt! The other day we were at a bagel shop and while we waited on our order he turned to a girl and said, "Hi, what's your name?" just out of the blue. He NEVER asks the guys!

I thought it was an excellent piece of art as well!!

I will have to try it on the croissant next time...a few of you noted it! Joe won't hesitate to eat there again I know!

 

[PopArtGal]

SAB really seems like my kind of place.

 

[3prettyprincesses]

So you ended up at SAB again? Shocker! My kids would've pulled every trick in the book to play there every day of our vacation!

Loved this update, Henry is his usual cutie pie self! This is a lovely picture of the three you, you look ultra fab! I love Henry's scrunchy little face too!

How sweet was that little fish with Henry? So cute. Turtle Talk is always fun and of course Soarin' is a no brainer!

My girls adored Duffy as well, we spent plenty of time coloring at the Kidcot stops in WS. Henry's Duffy is too cute, he worked hard didn't he?

Looks a wonderful Epcot day with a nice SAB break! Score! Epcot is seriously one of my favs, it's right up there with MK. I love Future World especially.

 

[Softballgirl27]

yah it finally feels like summer

 

[DisMomAmy]

Fun SAB & Epcot update! I know exactly what noise you are talking about with the Soarin' seatbelts! I love it!!

SAB looks like it was so much fun! I hope we get to check it out in November!!

 

[CJsMom]

SAB, that yummy dessert, and SOARIN...I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon/evening!

 

[eandesmom]

I love that sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That river is deep. You have to have a tube or it gets pretty old, and tiring, fast. What a fun, lazy update!

Thank you! I like that pic of us too - good lighting helps! And I think it's a bit of an improvement over the self portrait in Nemo...!

We could have easily spent every day at SAB for Joe and Henry! I think if I'm able to get them in during August they will spend a very good chunk of their day there. I need to read up on the exact rules to see if it's okay if they swim there while I'm staying there.

We are big fans of Future World too! I do enjoy the WS, and all the shows they have, but Henry doesn't sit as well during those yet.

yah it finally feels like summer

It has been chilly here, but today is supposed to be nice I think! I hope!

Fun SAB & Epcot update! I know exactly what noise you are talking about with the Soarin' seatbelts! I love it!!

SAB looks like it was so much fun! I hope we get to check it out in November!!

I'm glad I'm not alone with the Soarin' seat belt sound!

SAB is awesome - you guys will love it!!!!

SAB, that yummy dessert, and SOARIN...I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon/evening!

Ya, I have to agree with you...SAB followed by that shortcake and Soarin' is a pretty awesome evening!! I could go for some more of that right about now!

I love that sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That river is deep. You have to have a tube or it gets pretty old, and tiring, fast. What a fun, lazy update!

Another fan of the sound!!!

I could only make it twice around before I got too tired! It was fun though, I love to swim and don't get to do it too often, so it was a treat to have a deep section to actually swim in.
